Which could be a beret, a diamond necklace, a heart-shaped purse (yes, Kate Spade, we&#8217;re waiting on the restock).

(I have it!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Buy a heart-shaped pizza<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, I found myself catching a city bus around my campus searching for the closest pizza location. I only had a couple of dollars to spend on this pizza, but I wanted to feel good and treat myself. I marched into Cottage Inn and got myself a heart-shaped pizza, too bad it was cold when I got to my dorm room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/jetspizza-heart.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: Jets Pizza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Make candy baskets  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This basket can be great for yourself, or it can be full of candy that your partner enjoys. I would fill mine with candies such as Starbursts, Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish. Last year, I bought myself a teddy bear as a gift. I topped it all off with some strawberry lemonade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chandraalilijah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/IMG_9869.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-360\" style=\"width:525px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This item was made by CHANNI\u00cb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.  Stay inside, decorate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With COVID-19, it may not be as easy to find a location to dine in. No problem, create your own diner. Valentine decorations can be as cheap as $1 to hundreds of dollars. <a href=\"https:\/\/chandraalilijah.com\/index.php\/2020\/07\/09\/5-steps-on-how-to-improve-your-dollar-tree-trip\/\">Dollar Tree<\/a> is a perfect spot for tablecloths, plates, napkins, cups, and other Valentine theme items. Plus, you can buy actual food there if you&#8217;re on a tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-pale-pink-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-643f0bf28b26e2de08eccd5ad28ae293\">Recommended Posts<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/chandraalilijah.com\/index.php\/2026\/04\/06\/stimulate-my-mind\/\">stimulate my mind<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/chandraalilijah.com\/index.php\/2026\/04\/05\/can-we-write-outside-yet\/\">Can we write outside yet?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/chandraalilijah.com\/index.php\/2026\/04\/04\/michigan-is-skipping-spring-fashion\/\">Michigan is skipping spring fashion<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/chandraalilijah.com\/index.php\/2026\/04\/03\/dear-love-bug-2\/\">Peanuts and good decisions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/chandraalilijah.com\/index.php\/2026\/04\/02\/owning-623-detroit-shop-at-25-years-old\/\">Owning 6:23 Detroit Shop at 25 years old<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Watch a sappy romance movie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ are always there for you when you need them the most! My movie suggestion for this year is To All The Boys:<em> I Loved Before<\/em>. It&#8217;s a perfect flick for the modern-day lover girl. Not only is it super relatable but the fashion is cute and the baking scene is adorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif aligncenter\">\n\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:56%\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/OPwoSQy8J8sVANQvPT\" title=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/OPwoSQy8J8sVANQvPT\/giphy.gif\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Have a Galentine&#8217;s Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gather your closest friends, head to Target or Dollar Tree and everyone grabs one food or drink item. Then get some decorations, and don&#8217;t forget the cookies or cupcakes. Galentine&#8217;s is typically a &#8220;girl Valentine&#8221;; it&#8217;s for your female friends to get together, bake cookies, food, drink wine and celebrate friendship. It&#8217;s the best idea for a group of friends who are single and don&#8217;t want to be alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Remember that it&#8217;s just a day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather, you will be showered with a dozen roses or not told Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day by anyone. Remember that it&#8217;s just a day, it doesn&#8217;t matter because the next day will come and you will forget all about it. If anything, treat yourself. Wear a cute fit, or get yourself a heart-shaped pizza. Who knows, maybe next year, you may be having dinner at a fancy restaurant. Until then, catch up on that new Ariana Grande album while you&#8217;re at it!<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif aligncenter\">\n\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-gif-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top:73%\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/5dUllWbKVlaqmMTvHb\" title=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/5dUllWbKVlaqmMTvHb\/giphy.gif\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guide is helpful even if you are boo&#8217;d up or single as a pringle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,376],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-posts","category-lifestyle-content"],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
